Founder FAQs

Question 1

Who should submit to ShipBoost?

Accepted Answer

ShipBoost is built for bootstrapped SaaS founders who want trust, visibility, and repeatable distribution instead of a one-day spike.

Question 2

Can I submit before launch day?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Founders can submit ahead of public opening and line up a free or Premium Launch week.

Question 3

What is the difference between Free Launch and Premium Launch?

Accepted Answer

Free Launch goes through review, requires badge verification, and is queued into the next available weekly cohort. Premium Launch lets you reserve a launch week, skips badge verification, and gets stronger baseline placement.

Question 4

Do I need badge verification for Premium Launch?

Accepted Answer

No. Badge verification is required for free launches, not Premium Launches.

Question 5

How do launch weeks work?

Accepted Answer

ShipBoost uses weekly cohorts instead of daily launch resets. Free launches are queued into available weeks, and Premium Launches reserve a week directly.

Question 6

How is the launch board ranked?

Accepted Answer

The top three spots are earned by the most upvotes in the active week. After that, Premium Launches appear ahead of free launches.

Question 7

When is Premium Launch confirmed?

Accepted Answer

Premium Launch is confirmed after payment is completed and the launch week is reserved in your dashboard.

Question 8

Can I edit my submission later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Draft submissions can be resumed, and approved founders can manage their listing details from the dashboard.
